Hi - there are a few free utilities that help you delete files that windows won't let you delete. Try FileAssassin located here: http://download.cnet.com/FileAssassin/3000-2094_4-10639988.html?tag=mncol It's freeware and hopefully will let you delete your desktop icon. But... there is almost always a reason a file can't be deleted - and the reason is usually that it is a virus file. I'm suspecting that the file is part of a virus infection, and even if you delete it, eventually it'll come back. So be sure to run all the anti-malware apps you have.
